Today, we’re shining a spotlight on the visionary behind one of our favorite community hubs: Kirsten Hocker, the heart and soul of Gather On Hopmeadow! 🌿✨
Kirsten isn’t just a business owner; she’s a community builder who has transformed 961 Hopmeadow Street into a vibrant sanctuary for creativity, connection, and healing. With a BFA in Design from RIT and a background in architecture from RPI, Kirsten brings a sophisticated, structured eye to everything she touches.
Before Gather became the bustling collaborative space it is today, Kirsten’s journey began with Modern Twist Macramé. Her "modern twist" isn't just a name—it’s her signature style. She takes the traditional art of macramé and elevates it with clean lines, architectural influence, and a contemporary aesthetic that fits perfectly in any modern home. 🧶🏙️
Whether she’s teaching a "Meet the Maker" workshop, supporting local artisans in her gift shop, or hosting community events, Kirsten’s mission is clear: to provide a welcoming space where everyone can find inspiration and belonging.
Thank you, Kirsten, for giving Simsbury a place to grow, gather, and create. We are so grateful for the space you’ve built for us! ❤️
